As you age, your teeth can weaken, and the normal wear and tear on your teeth can cause damage. Cracks, stains, and decay can become more of a problem, leaving you with a smile you don’t recognize. You may even begin to lose teeth. When this happens, a dental crown or bridge is usually the solution for maintaining your smile and oral health.
If you have a missing tooth or teeth, we highly recommend replacing it with Carrollton restorative dentistry—not just because of how your smile looks but because it could cause structural damage to your mouth. Your mouth relies on your teeth, and if one or a few are missing, the mouth and jaw can suffer, making eating or speaking difficult. A dental bridge can help. A dental bridge is exactly what it sounds like—a tooth bridge that spans the area where your tooth is missing. Dental bridges are strong and durable. They’re often made from Zirconia, porcelain (metal-free), alloys, metals, or gold.
